Apple Mail drops lines or words

From time to time email I send using Apple Mail arrives with words or lines dropped.
I don't have this problem with Eudora but love the various features of Apple Mail v.3.5
Where do I look?

I am also having a problem with dropped letters in some of the emails that I send using Apple Mail (having just switched from Entourage to Apple Mail). It seems random - I tried resending the same (problematic) email several times to one of my colleagues, and each time different parts of the email had dropped letters. It is both frustrating and embarrassing. Apple - please help.

Apple Mail drops accounts regularly

I have 3 different email accounts operating under Apple Mail (10.8.4).
For some reason two of them get dropped every few minutes and the only way to fix this is to exit Mail and restart it again..
Gets very frustrating after a while..
Anybody got a solution?
Thanks...

Please describe in detail what happened when you took all the applicable steps in the support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem.

Apple Mail drops signature

Hi
I'm running latest 10.8.2 on a brand new Mac Mini. I have several email accounts. On the latest one I've set up, for no apparent reason, the signature keeps deleting. So, when I compose a mail... no signature. When I investigate in Preferences/Signatures I find the name of my signature but a blank screen where it used to be. It's happening daily. Any ideas?
Thanks

BUMPING this one, because I have the same issue. OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
I have to physically paste my signatures every time.

Apple Mail in Lion not keeping accounts when quitting

When I add mail accounts that are not Mobile Me in Apple Mail, the account disappears each time I quit and restart Mail. Then I have to add the entire account again only to be lost the next time. So I can never quit Mail. I've always had several accounts in Apple Mail without issue. However, since I've updated to Lion, Apple Mail drops account every time I quit Mail. So when I relaunch Mail, the only thing there is my Mobile Me account. Why is this happening and how do I remedy it? Thanks!

Are you using the classic view or the new vertical view.
If the latter, I have noticed that unless you scroll right up to the top of the mail, the blue dot does not disappear.
Secondly, if you are using conversation mode, click the small arrow to expand the list of mails under that conversation, if one of them is not read or not scrolled right up to the top, it will show as unread.

Copy and paste from MS Word to Apple Mail - line spacing

Folks:
When I copy and paste single-spaced text from MS Word into the body of an email message in Apple Mail, it pastes in as double spaced text. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I can't seem to find how to change line spacing in Apple Mail. Thanks.

hi, had the same issue
went into the word doc, removed all tabs (even if not using tabs there were some hidden) and paragraph formatting and it pasted in fine... my doc was a single paragraph...
BUT having fixed that I found another doc which underlines the text when pasting it into mail!!!! havn;t solved that!

Mail is putting the word SPAM at the beginning of subject line of messages

Mail is putting the word SPAM at the beginning of subject line of a large percentage of messages in my in box that are not junk. My Mail Junk Preferences don't seem to affect this. Any ideas?

I don't think Mail can actually do that. It might be something being done by the spam filter running on the mail server at your ISP.
If you have access to your mail through webmail or a different mail program, try leaving Apple Mail closed for a while and only reading mail in one of the other ways. If the SPAM word keeps getting tacked on even when Apple Mail is not running, Apple Mail is not the one doing it.

I seem to have multiple problems related or unrelated. I cannot use Apple Mail for blueyonder and mostly for gmail as both show that the server is off line. My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with pop up windows on nearly every command

Firstly I am unable to use Apple mail except for hotmail, for blueyonder, gmail or Sky as the server shows as (off line) and I have no idea how to get them on line even though I tell them to go there.
My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with advertising windows virtually on ever command I make, one seems to be impossible to unsubscribe from.
When I am in an email with a web link the web link doesn't work and I get a window saying that I must have a pop up blocker, but if I switch it off it is no different, what does work is switching the "enable Java script off", then when I get to the web site I can't use it until I switch the java script back on.
I can't do a screen shot either full or partial, when I try it changes the web site that is on screen to another.
So what have I done that might have caused problems, downloading Yosemite seemed to be the start of the problems. Since then I have started to install Mackeeper, after checking with a family members who should know, that MacPaw is safe. I decided that I didn't want to pay the subscription, so went through the uninstall instructions but it comes up as a pop up with considerable regularity.
My stress levels have gone through the roof with pop ups happening so regularly and not being able to use Apple mail.o can anyone help please?

SMTP servers keep going offline

How do I get a drop-down menu to choose SMTP when composing an email in Apple Mail?

Apple Mail used to have a drop-down menu in the Composing Mail window to select the SMTP server to use. It is no longer there, in Yosemite (10.10.1). How do I get that back?

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. That's exactly what DW offers validation behaviors or Spry Validation for. Select the form element(s) required to validate, apply the behavior, set the options in the dialog. Done.

HHow are you. Trying to add the second address? Normal procedure after the first address is to type a comma, then start typing the name for the second address.

Dropping a photo from iPhoto an Apple Mail stationary pane placeholder

With regard to Apple Mail and the stationary pane templates, why is that sometimes I can drop a picture in from iPhoto in the placeholder, and other times I cannot? Sometimes some photos will work and others won't. Other times no photos will work. And still other times all photos work. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason as to when it works and when it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?

Next time that happens check to see if you can drag the photo to the Desktop from iPhoto. You can try repairing the permissions in the library via iPhoto as follows:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - apply option #1.

Microsoft Word email merge with Apple Mail Question

Apple Mail client app (version 8.0) using 100%+ of CPU upon using mail drop (13" R-MBP running Yosemite 10.10)

Hello Support Community,
I am having quite the interesting issue. I have read plenty of reports where users' Apple Mail app is using 100% of CPU. This did not start for me until I went to go use the new mail drop feature in Yosemite. I am running Yosemite (10.10) on my 13" Retina - MacBook Pro (flash storage, 8GB RAM, 2.4 dual-core Intel i5) and my Apple mail is version 8.0. I have tried 3 different mail services (2 gmail accounts and iCloud), all result in the same issue. I have also done a complete erase of the hard disk and a brand new install of Yosemite, the issue persists.
As previously stated my mail app is using 100% upon, and only while, using the mail drop feature. If I force quit the mail app and allow it a minute, the mail app returns to using less than 1% of the CPU and the app and entire system resume normal function. Upon attempting to resend the same message that is placed in my outbox the CPU usage jumps to 50-80%. After a few seconds, the CPU usage will sometimes jump higher than 100%, ranging from 130% - 199%. All of these observations were made using Activity Monitor. Of course you can see my frustration, an app using this much CPU stops every process my Mac is doing (using safari, messages, iTunes etc.) - the whole computer locks up. Even force quitting is a difficult process to attempt.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I am at a loss and have no idea what to do. I am a pretty tech savvy guy and have tried everything that I would've thought would fix this. Is there anyway this could be a hardware issue? I don't think so but... all possibilities need to be taken into consideration, even though that one seems outlandish. Upon creating a new user account with a separate user library (but same system library) I figured the OS was the problem. I can't narrow it down to being a specific mail provider, and it can't be my OS since I have now erased and reinstalled 10.10 twice. Thank you!

I have this same issue. It has been driving me insane, Mac Mail uses 100% CPU most of the time I use it, after every time I open the machine, or after a sleep or even mostly after a screen saver has locked me out. It normally settles down after 5-15 minutes, but then happens every time again. It is killing my battery.

How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, how do I select the first and last message and delete everything in between?

How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, what do I select if I mark the first and last email to delete everything in between? Thanks.

I have this same issue. I have over 100 email addresses that I need to add to a group. The issue is not making the group, it's getting the email addresses from Mail to Contacts.
Dragging the email addresses does nothing. You can copy the addresses, but there's nowhere to put them. You can make a VCF for an email address, but then you have to find all of them to add them to the group. How do you automate this?!
I'm astounded that there's so little support for such a common issue for which people have been asking for years.

mmchisholm - just so you know you're not alone, I too am having the exact same issue as of latest software update bundle. Have to manually add each photo until Apple issues solution or minor software update.
